We were sitting here posting and uploading pictures when all of a sudden the traffic noise stopped and some strange water noises started. Curiosity got the best of us and we looked out the companionway to see a huge barge gliding by in the night, less than 20 feet away. There is no recreational traffic here at night but the commercial guys never sleep. To see them piloting these behemoths in this narrow passage of water just takes your breath away. The pictures aren't great, but I think you'll get the idea.
(or how to move onto a sailboat) With the advent of our 50th birthdays came the usual sorts of life evaluations that one goes through. At what have I succeeded? What contributions have I made? What do I have left that I want to do before I die? Living on the water was high on both our lists. For any who share the dream, and for our family members who might not understand, this is our story. We don't know where it will take us, but welcome along for the ride!
